Chapter 50: Guo Huairen
Thirty miles is about thirty miles away from Luoyun City, because this place is the hub of several nearby cities, and gradually there are more inns, inns and tea shops in this original small village, which makes it a bit prosperous.
Sanwei Teahouse is a long-established restaurant here.
Because it was early in the morning, there were no customers in the teahouse, only the elderly teahouse shopkeeper was holding a teapot in the teahouse and studying it constantly, as if there were flowers on it.
Suddenly, the curtain in the teahouse was lifted, and a young man walked out of the inner room of the teahouse, who looked like Wu Hao.
He touched his face as he walked, as if he couldn't believe it, and then cautiously said to the shopkeeper who was fiddling with the teapot: "Young Master!"
The shopkeeper glared at the young man in front of him with a sharp gaze that did not match his age, and said, "How did I teach you!"
"Yes, yes...... Shopkeeper!" The young man replied cautiously, and then asked, "Is this really possible?"
"Nonsense!" the shopkeeper said in a deep voice: "Do you think that a hundred taels of silver is so easy to earn, and you are familiar with the lines?"
The boy nodded busily.
The shopkeeper told the young man a few more words, and went to the inner room to prepare tea, and the young man pretended to sit leisurely in a position in the corner of the teahouse, as if waiting for something.
About twenty minutes later, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties walked into the teahouse. He was dressed in gray, his face was full of dust, and his sideburns had already grown a little luxuriant, but this could not hide the calm and leisurely atmosphere he carried.
The middle-aged man saw the position where the young man was sitting at a glance, and then he also walked over, sat opposite the young man and said, "Nephew Wu Xian, don't come unharmed!"
Guo ...... Uncle!" the young man hurriedly beckoned, his voice trembling slightly.
At this time, the shopkeeper stepped forward tremblingly, refilled the tea for both of them, and then walked down tremblingly, without making any eye contact with the young man halfway.
When he entered the inner room tremblingly, his legs and feet suddenly became stronger, and he went up the stairs of the inner room to the teahouse in three or two clicks.
In the upstairs hut, there is a strange cylindrical device, which is connected to the downstairs by a thin copper wire, and the "shopkeeper" can listen to the conversation downstairs with his ears on this cylinder.
This is the legendary earthen telephone!
"Wu Xian's nephew must not be nervous, uncle is not a man-eating monster. The middle-aged man's calm voice appeared in the ears of the "shopkeeper": "Thank you Wu Xian's nephew for sending a letter informing me of the news that the people of the Snow Lotus Sect are coming, so that I can avoid it in advance and save trouble." ”
"Uncle Guo is polite, and I can still distinguish between distant and close relatives. The boy seemed to be slowly entering the groove, and his voice gradually stabilized.
"Xiaoru really didn't mistake you!" Guo Huairen looked at the young man in front of him, who was still a little immature, and said with emotion: "It's just a pity ......"
"What is a pity?" This sentence is not in the line, it completely belongs to the teenager's on-the-spot play, and the "shopkeeper" quietly gave a thumbs up.
"It's a pity that you and Xiaoru are not destined to be people of the same world!" Guo Huairen looked at the young man with pity and said: "Just like me and Jiayin, forcibly being together will only cause tragedy in the end!"
The boy couldn't understand this person's emotion, but he successfully caught the keyword "Xiaoru", so he asked according to the lines: "Where did Xiaoru go?"
Guo Huairen's gaze became distant, and then he said slowly: "To the north of the six countries of Lingnan, there is the Kunwu Mountain Range. Through Kunwu, there is a Juetian Pass known as the first pass in the world, and after passing the Juetian Pass, it is the most powerful dynasty in the world today, Daqian!"
"What, big money!?" The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up and his heart raced, and he had an infinite yearning for the so-called "big money". With "money" as the country name, how rich is that?
He barely managed to hold the earpiece. I couldn't help but refrain from rushing down on the spot to ask Guo Huairen for clarification.
Because he was too excited, he didn't know what the next two were talking about, and when he calmed down and listened carefully, he only heard Guo Huairen say: "Wu family boy, if you have a heart, we will meet again." ”
Hearing this, he was about to say goodbye and go to Daqian.
What relieved the "shopkeeper" was that the "Wu Hao" was still clever, and he still remembered the lines prepared earlier.
"Uncle Guo, wait, I still have some things I haven't figured out here, and I ask Uncle Guo to solve my doubts. "Once born, second cooked, now this "Wu Hao" is much more proficient in speaking lines.
"Oh?" Guo Huairen paused and did it again, "Virtuous nephew, please speak!"
"Are you really behind the scenes, that Mind Snatcher?" Although "Wu Hao" was already proficient in business, his voice was still a little trembling when he said this.
"Me?" Guo Huairen pointed to himself and said in surprise: "Where do you think I look like a heart snatcher?"
Then he glanced at Wu Hao a few times, and said clearly: "Yes, the girl is outgoing, it must be Xiaoru who told you something, right?"
"Wu Hao" has no lines, he can only nod sullenly, and the atmosphere in the teahouse is strange at this time, and "Wu Hao"'s legs are already trembling slightly.
Guo Huairen sighed leisurely and said, "Every time you slaughter more dogs, it's a pity that Yang Dongshan died." At the beginning, the old man saved his life, but he didn't expect that he would rather die than implicate the old man. ”
"Is it really you?" "Wu Hao" called out without a teacher.
Guo Huairen stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, pressed him back into his seat, and then said: "What is it, what is it? What is the devil, the greed in people's hearts is the devil!"
Guo Huairen raised his head and said: "The old man studied medicine at the age of thirteen and graduated at the age of eighteen, and it has been more than 30 years now. In my life, there are countless living people, but these hands have never been stained with blood! Do you say that people like me are demons?"
"Wu Hao" shook his head blankly.
"The old man's name is Huairen, he practices himself, has benevolence in his heart, and treats diseases and saves people. Whether it is a prince or a nobleman, or a poor person, the old man is treated the same. Whether it is a person of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, or a traitor and a villain, the old man treats everyone equally. Is such a person a demon?"
"Wu Hao" continued to shake his head blankly.
"The rivers and lakes are in turmoil, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable. Over the years, there has been no shortage of people who have malicious intentions towards the old man. The old man also practiced a poison technique that was a little stronger than his medical skills to defend himself. But even so, the old man has never harmed a person's life. I, Xue Huairen, don't kill anyone!
"Wu Hao" still shook his head, but he didn't dare to drink the tea to his mouth anymore.
Xue Huairen slammed the teacup to the ground, and then said with some emotion: "But what's the use of this, your beloved can't keep it." I, Xue Huairen, am a piece of shit!"
"Wu Hao" looked up stupidly, but saw that Doctor Xue was already in tears.
After a while, Divine Doctor Xue's emotions eased up, and then he shook his head and said, "What am I telling you to do here? You're just a child." ”
He then looked at "Wu Hao" and admonished: "Yang Dongshan is dead, I don't know whose hands that Seven Tricks Exquisite Dragon has fallen into." If you're there, I don't recommend you practice. According to the old man's recent research, this exercise has embarked on an evil path, and he only knows what it is, but he doesn't know why it is. ”
"The old man paid close attention to the Yang Pavilion Master when he practiced this method, and he took his heart's work several times to study, and repeatedly analyzed the prescriptions recorded in that exercise. The old man found that the so-called improvement of understanding requires people's hearts to take medicine, but in fact, it is just a misunderstanding of the person who created this exercise. What can really improve one's understanding is actually a certain mysterious factor contained in the human heart. ”
"The old man calls this mysterious factor a trace element!"
"And this trace element, even if it is not collected by the human heart, still exists in nature, so the old man thought hard for a long time and created a prescription, called 'Linglong Formula'!"
Although this exquisite prescription is not as immediate as the so-called "Seven Tricks Exquisite Decision", it is safe and risk-free, as long as you insist on taking it, you can slowly improve your own understanding. ”
As he spoke, Doctor Xue took out a page of rice paper, and then pushed it in front of "Wu Hao"!
